In Jeff Duncan’s weekend column, he says the New Orleans Saints “are all in” on quarterback Derek Carr, and they plan to restructure the contract with their “ride or die” to make it so they are married to him throughout at least the 2025 season. Whether you like it or not, there are more good reasons to do this than not.

We go through the reasons with The Athletic’s Larry Holder on Friday’s the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 207), and we discuss whether this is one of the reasons why the Saints have waited to hire a new offensive coordinator. Will it be Klint Kubiak or Brian Griese? Staying inside the building with Ronald Curry?

And what about Super Bowl LVIII? Is there an early read on the game? How have the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers made it? Certainly not by coaching like it’s a game of “Madden NFL” like Dan Campbell did last week in the NFC championship game. Are we giving up on Lamar Jackson’s chances to make a Super Bowl?
